STAVANGER, NORWAY  APRIL 23-25 2009		ORGANISED BY
Scandinavian Update 2009 Opening session The conference kicks off at 10.00 Thursday April 23 with the following Hot topics: Early, aggressive resuscitation is certainly good for the patient in cardiac arrest, but when is it time to stop? (Hans Friberg, Sweden), Why I think the Regional Emergency Centre Hospital model is the answer to the challenges facing Scandinavian healthcare (Ari Leppäniemi, Finland) and Emergency medicine in Europe and Scandinavia - the past, the present and the future (Gunnar Öhlén, Sweden) The Opening Cermony ("Karibu") starts at 18.30 in Stavanger Hall (at the conference hotel), and will contain music and entertainment as well as food and drinks. Stand-up Science On Thursday evening at 21.00, the venue switches to the Conference bar "Hall Toll" - for an informal session with scientific presentations. Each presenter will be given just four minutes to outline their research, and with nothing more than a flip-chart helping them getting their message through to the audience before the Moderator blows his "time-out" signal. The participants will range from medical students to experienced clinicians, and they have to convince both a panel of experts and the audience that their research project is worth listening to. The expert panel will put the presenters under gentle pressure to ensure an entertaining as well as educational evening. The debates will continue well into the evening in the bars and restaurants of Stavanger!
